Mr. Snyder. I don't think he would; no. There would be no need for him to. He came into the Embassy and spoke to an officer, which is a higher form of registration in a sense.
Mr. Dulles. For the record, how long was it after his arrival in Moscow that he reported to the Embassy?
Mr. Coleman. He arrived on October 16, and he didn't go into the Embassy until October 31.
Mr. Dulles. That was about the time his visa—his permission to stay was going to expire?
Mr. Coleman. His permission to stay as designated on his visa had already expired.
Mr. Dulles. Was that a 12-day?
Mr. Coleman. He was in the Soviet Union 15 days before he went to the American Embassy.
Mr. Dulles. How long was his permit good for?
Mr. Coleman. His permit was good for 6 days.
Mr. Dulles, Only 6 days? You, of course, get no word from the Soviet Union when they give visas to Americans to come into the country.
